Some Creative Painting Projects With Leftover Paints!
A tub full of leftover milk, you can utilize it easily! A pack of extra wallpaper, you can use it creatively too. But when it’s half a pack of paint, you just can’t think of a way to use it — and it gets wasted at the end of the day. So, we thought of collecting all the ideas of using this paint nicely in your home décor.
Best ways to use your leftover paint!
Revamping your home cannot be fun if you aren’t using some creative and new ways that would leave your own mark on the project. And after the painters in Auckland from Kowhai have painted your home excellently with their immense experience and expertise, you can utilise the leftover shades to spruce up your décor even more. Read about those unique ways:
The beautiful door
The leftover paint from your bedroom can be utilised very well in colouring the door of the same room. Just let half of the door remain the shade that it was earlier and paint the other half with bright colour left from your bedroom paint. The result will be a vibrant looking entrance that matches your interiors extremely well.
1. Sit pretty
Are your old chairs giving you some primitive feelings? Then you can give them a new life by painting them in a fabulous shade from the leftover paint from your house.
2. The drawer’s drama
If your dressing table lacks a pleasant appeal, you can create a dramatic effect by painting the sides of the drawers with the leftover paint. And if you have two shades of paint in excess, then you can paint the front of the drawer with one and the sides with another shade.
3. The lamp base
If you have a very old lamp that you dread to part with but doesn’t match with your décor, then paint in with the leftover paint and let it stay longer.
4. The backslash magic
We understand that backslashes get dirty more often. And maybe you are bored of the same tiles fixed here. Give the splashes a colour bath by painting on the tiles. (Check online for the best techniques to paint on the tiles.)
5. Re frame the frames
House renovation often forces the older wall décor frames to be thrown out. But no, don’t do that. Especially, if your frame is in good condition, just retouch its borders with your leftover paint and insert a new picture in it. The rest is magical.
6. The fireside flash
You can easily transform your fireside into a vibrant looking place that matches your interiors by using the leftover paint on this surface.
7. The border trims
If the leftover paint is more than half the pack, you can use it in painting all the trims of your kitchen cabinets or cupboards. It would create a fabulous monochromatic look in the room and even your paint would be utilized well.
Sometimes a simple small step is enough to spruce up the entire place. The above listed creative ways of utilizing your left over paint is one such example. Let us know how you utilize them in your home and the results of the same.
